I wasn't sure whereabouts to put this post, but here goes When my Ds started CH, the tuck shop sold lovely knitted Housey frogs - they really helped DS2 get over the fact his older brother had 'vanished' off to school. I have recently taught myself to knit, and having looked at these frogs I think t...

is there a majority of full fee paying/ overseas pupils entering at this stage? I'd also be interested in this. I'm still considering the school for ds2 but he's at a poor secondary at the moment, and i'm not really sure whether it'll be worth putting him through it all again. He certainly couldn't...

very few people are eligable for a full bursery, I think you have to have no income and survive purely on benefits.

No idea if we can afford it (TBH we can't afford the fees for our first son - we can only pay them thanks to a flexible mortgage) But we'll have to find the money if ds2 gets a place (kinda crossing my fingers that he won't get a place :cry: :cry: ) But we haven't paid a registration fee. Only a cou...
